Return & Rebuild

RETURN & REBUILD
A Study in the Book of Ezra
(Sept. 10 – Nov. 26)

In the aftermath of a global pandemic, as the church emerges from a season of unprecedented challenges and uncertainties, the sermon series "Return and Rebuild" draws inspiration from the biblical accounts of Ezra and Nehemiah. These two historical figures led the people of Israel in the post-exilic era, guiding them through a process of returning to their homeland and rebuilding the Temple and the city of Jerusalem. Likewise, the church today faces a unique opportunity to reflect on its journey, embrace renewal, and reconstruct its purpose in a world forever changed by the pandemic.

Join us as we embark on this transformative journey together, seeking to rebuild the spiritual foundations of our lives and community. Together, we will forge a path toward restoration and renewal, aligning ourselves with God's purposes and anticipating a future filled with hope and promise.
